long, long hazelnut catkins

The branches of this small hazelnut tree are gorgeous outside (I've never, ever seen its catkins so long), but the arrangement of the twigs is sort of gawky, and I've never quite found a way to display them inside. That's probably a good thing, because as soon as they warm up they start releasing pollen and my allergies go nuts! Still, I love looking at them "up close and personal" for a while.
